Will Qualcomm only ever have one PCS driver?
You probably want a more specific name so that when the next PCS
driver comes along, you have a reasonable consistent naming scheme.
We expect one PCS driver to support the 'IPQ' family of Qualcomm processors.
While we are initially adding support for IPQ9574 SoC, this driver will be
easily extendable later to other SoC in the IPQ family such as IPQ5332,
IPQ5424 and others. Therefore we used the name with suffix '_IPQ'. Hope it
is fine.
So are you saying after IPQ comes IPR? And then IPS? In order to have
a new PCS design, Marketing will allow you to throw away the whole IPQ
branding?
OK. We will convert the name to make it more specific to the
architecture. 'PCS_QCOM_IPQ9574' can be used to signify this type of PCS
within IPQ SoC family. The driver will be re-used later for other IPQ
SoC using same architecture, with minimal driver extensions.
